A world where crowns are not just symbols of power but pieces in a delicate game of influence and survival. This is a collection of stories set in medieval, ancient, or fantasy worlds, where political and social conflicts shape the fate of kingdoms, royalty, and the aristocracy. Power struggles, alliances and betrayals, conspiracies, kidnappings and assassination attempts, arranged marriages, rebellions, and wars… every action and every choice can change the course of history.

This is a stack of Isekai Anime with Overpowered Main Characters.

All of the MCs in this stack are OP from the start.

Only the first seasons of each show will be included in this stack.

Here’s a list of isekai anime that are kind of average
—not too bad, but not great either
—just decent enough to be watchable.

While some of these anime are genuinely bad, isn’t meant to generalize the entire genre. I’ve included Some of them are not widely known either. These are the kind of anime people often point to when trying to justify the idea that isekai as a genre is bad.

Watching these lower-tier isekai shows can help you understand what works and what doesn’t in the genre. There are definitely worse anime out there, and while these may not be the best, they’re still worth a watch. Ok, my bad—some of them are actually quite bad, so take caution. But don’t worry, the really bad ones are already labeled as such!

Isekai Anime from 2023 - present.

This stack exceeded the 50 item limit so I split it in two. See the stack: "2023 Fall YouTube Critics Recommendations - Returning & Continuing Shows" for the rest. Sorry for the inconvenience.


This stack consolidates watch recommendations for Fall 2023 from several YouTube critics/commentators. Stacked in alpha order.

------------------------------< Pre-season >------------------------------

These are recommendations based on hype, buzz, trailers, and sometimes the reputation of the creative team.

414Anime 152K subs: "The Fall 2023 Anime NOT TO MISS!". Highlighting new anime. Not ranked or ordered so I'll just note it one each show mentioned.

AH Brandon Reviews 60.2K subs: "What Will Brandon Watch Fall of Anime 2023". "I won't be going over everything, just some of the things that catch my eye." His channel content is driven largely by audience interest so this isn't a "what to watch" recommendation. More like someone taking the pulse of his community.

Ranking: Must Watch; Three episodes (potential); One episode (give it a chance); Skip. Based on each anime description and trailers. Presumably, shows that were edited out were ranked Skip without much fanfare.

-----<

It's pretty clear "Sousou no Frieren" (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) is the locomotive pulling the hype-train this Fall. "Undead Unluck" has the next most interest, followed by, surprisingly, "Kusuriya no Hitorigoto" (The Apothecary Diaries).

-----<

Otaku Spirit 14.8K subs: "Same Mistake Again! Fall 2023 Is Too Much?". As of early Sep 2023, MAL lists 62 new TV anime, 8 ONA, and 13 Movies for Fall 2023. If you are annoyed by release delays and schedule issues, this video will shed some light. You'll also get a peek behind-the-scenes of the anime industry.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGIbg2vN_BI&t=633s

------------------------------< First Impressions >------------------------------

Gigguk 3.54M subs: "Fall Anime 2023 in a Nutshell". "What am I doing with my life?" G runs through 24 new and returning shows this season with his usual sarcastic commentary, singling out a few for praise. He didn't have much to say about any other shows. I try to capture the tone of his comments and include chapter markers so you can watch for yourself.

Glass Reflection 583K subs: "I Watched EVERY SINGLE NEW ANIME of the Fall 2023 Season...". To be clear, does not include sequels, new seasons, or returning shows. Based on the first episode or three, the rating system describes whether a show will remain on his watch list, or not. GR will "Keep" shows he will continue watching; "Toss" shows he won't be continuing; and "Hold" for those shows that need a few more episodes before deciding. Chapter markers included for your viewing convenience.

Mother's Basement 1.33M subs: "The BEST Anime of Fall 2023 - Ones to Watch". Unranked Top 10 with 15 honorable mentions, aka, the bargain bin. Covering new shows only. Plus some mentions for upcoming shows on Netflix: "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off", "Onimusha", and "Good Night World"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9XWqjP8tGo

Plus individual videos noted for the appropriate show.

------------------------------< Mid- and Post-season Reviews >------------------------------

Garnt 529K subs: "Ranking Fall 2023 Anime". Some favorites and some least-favorites on a tier list (D < C < B < A < S + Didn't Watch; B is the middle tier.). He doesn't cover every Fall 2023 show - probably because he didn't watch them all (so what is the Didn't Watch tier?) This is an edited version of a 2 hr 37 min stream on the GiggukVOD channel. The VOD version has chapter markers so you can watch your favorite segment in full. There are no chapter markers for the edited version so I estimated time hacks from the transcript.

Mother's Basement 1.34M subs: "HOTTEST TRASH Anime of Fall 2023". Unranked but flaming-trash-receptacle-rated.

List of Anime with One Character as a Main

Previous : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/40416
Next : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/41125

i've found that most isekai is wish fulfillment for men, so here are some for girls! isekai where the protagonist is a female character.

I watched all of these anime during Fall 2023

Top anime (in my opinion)
New in Fall 2023:
1. Can't choose between these 2
KUSURIYA NO HIROGOTO, FL was kidnapped and then became a lady in the harem palace, because of her abilities as a pharmacist, she became a concubine's servant
Beautiful visual art, with exciting and interesting mystery comedy

UNDEAD UNLUCK, ML's ability to not die (Undead) but ML is looking for various ways so he can die then he meets FL with the ability to bring bad luck if other people touch the FL (Unluck), initially they are chased by an organization called union but then join To become a member, they have to complete a mission to get a prize, if they don't succeed, they get a penalty
There are several gore scenes (blood and body parts), the fight animation is really good and cool this season, the story is interesting

2. KAMONOHASHI RON NO KINDAN SUIRI, there are 2 MCs, Ron is a strange/flirty detective who has the ability to make perpetrators commit suicide, the other is Toto, a police detective who can be said to be a restrainer so that Ron isn't weird.
Each case is interesting and the solution is explained in full and it's not too long (1-3 eps after finishing 1 case)

3. SOUSOU NO FRIEREN, the story of Frieren's adventure after defeating the demon king while remembering Frieren's memories, especially when he was in the group of heroes, the background sound is also really fitting for each scene. There are lots of moral messages that can be taken away, the animation is also good, beautiful down to the small details and the movement is smooth, because the genre is adventure, not action, so there is rarely action, but once there is, the fights are cool

Sequel:
For the sequel, I don't know why there isn't much interesting, it's finished in the summer I think
1. DR STONE NEW WORLD PART 2 continuation of Senku with his genius brain to make various discoveries, this time his enemy has a tool to turn people into stone

2. SPY X FAMILY S2, cruise ship arc

3. SEIJO NO MARYOKU WA BANNOU DESU S2
The FL from the modern world keeps getting called to isekai to become a saintess, but when she's called, it turns out there are 2 people who are called, the S1 is quite annoying because the other person's appearance is richer than a saintess + is beautiful, so FL is ignored by the prince (she's the only one who's annoying), even though FL is a saintess, in the season finale in FL she was recognized as a saintess by the people there, this is final season

Top Anime Opening songs of Fall 2023 (in my opinion)
1. Fly High by BAE (Paradox Live The Animation Opening 1)
Paradox live is a hip hop group consisting of BAE, Cozmez, The Cat's Whisker, AkanYatsura, Buraikan, 1NM8, Visty, Goku Luck, Amprule
I know this group from YouTube, and the anime is an adaptation of the group's battle music
2. Tokimeki by Ikimonogakari (Kibou No Chikara : Otona Precure 23)
This anime is a sequel to the old school anime Yes Precure, where the story is about the characters who are adults
3. Kieru Made by Hana Hope (Hametsu no Oukoku)
Humans who are afraid that they don't need wizards because they already use advanced technology, start committing mass murder against wizards, the MC, who is a wizard's student, sees his teacher killed in front of his eyes, takes revenge by slaughtering humans.
In this anime the story is tragic, dark, full of revenge and war


Top Anime Ending songs of Fall 2023 (in my opinion)
1. Bang! By BAE (Paradox Live The Animation Ending 1)
This is the first song I heard from Paradox Live, it's my favorite, so all the songs are definitely on my playlist 🤣
2. Perfect World by LMYK (Megumi No Daigo)
About the fire brigade, their struggle to save people
3. Lilac Melody by Aina Suzuki (Seijo No Maryoku wa Bannou Desu S2)

This is a stack of Fantasy/Isekai Anime where the MC is a Child for the majority of the Show.
